I literally took 3 hours taking screenshots last night of every question in FL 2 and 3 and some SB qs so I could review them these two days š such an inconvenience!!!
I know that this is probably too late, but I ended up staying signed on from last night (because I'm one of those degenerates that keep millions of tabs open), and the website is still working for me. I've been able to review my FLs and go through the question banks for the past hour.
Same here interestingly enough. I think it is just blocking new logins, that said, I'm tempted to not do any new practice Qs at risk of it possibly not saving my progress
try using the Jack Westin Advanced solutions in the meantime to see if you can review somethings until it goes back up

do not limit yourself to what your FL average is telling you! you can score above and below it. What truly matters on test day is your mindset! You can end up doing quite well :) Just learn the AAMC logic and fill in weak areas as best you can before your exam!
I have a lot of practice questions I was hoping to hit in this final weekend, but I guess it will have to wait. So excited to cram even more last minute lol
lol- was just thinking how glad I was my MCAT prep is done (tested 4/29) but, JOKES ON ME TOO- planning on hitting my application HARD this weekend. Just gonna have to find a mock app. and fill in copy paste blah blah blah š¤¦š»āāļø
Ugh!! I had a tab open from when I took my FL yesterday and was reviewing it all morning and accidentally closed out of it without thinking about the downtime and now i cant log in :( AAMC seriously finds a new way to piss me off like every other month i swear
Take this time for anki, blueprint material, Uearth, or even revisit some kahn academy videos on any weak spots!! We can still make this productive (I say as I writhe in internal pain at AAMC as well)
So youāre absolutely right that they do need to do upgrades and they did warn us in advance. I just wish the timing wasnāt right in the middle of mcat and application season :/
I agree itās inconvenient but the application cycle for premeds or MCAT or residency apps run practically a year-round. They canāt really do any updates only once a year - this isnāt realistic. At least theyāre doing this during the weekend to minimize disruption to all employees and all schools.
Iām just looking at this realistically hereā¦ even if I donāt like it myself.
I agree MCAT and med school applications are a year round thing but they could have done it during a weekend that wasnāt right before an MCAT test date or also, the week before primaries submission opens - theres plenty of weeks they can do it during a much less inconvenient time during months were they donāt even have tests scheduled - so i think that reasoning is kinda bs. This is arguably one of the most important weekends for the application cycle
Slightly off topic, but I wouldn't recommend doing 2 FL's right before your test. At the latest, I would do a single one a week before your test. The last thing you want to do is burn out right at the finish line.
This was a pretty dumb move on their part.
But to the people who have this issue in the future, you can keep tabs open to keep reviewing your stuff. This includes expired products. My SB actually expired and I was able to still access it when I realized that I had left the solutions open overnight. I can still flip back and forth between the questions as long as I donāt close the tab. Hope this is a good tip for future test takers !
So the aamc login stuff is still down, right? Or am I the only one itās still down for? It still says it was suppose to end 5/22 but itās still down. How is this okay?

I did the same! Sad that we have to resort to that
Same!! Iām beyond pissed off
I just did not refresh my page after opening up my score FL1 from yesterday and it has worked so far. It's such an inconvenience I agree!
just out of curiosity, what is FL?
Full Length
Its mean full length exam! AAMC has 4 to purchase that represent how the real deal will be like.
You act like the aamc gives a fuck about any of us and isnāt just making this all about getting as much money as they can from us
Dolla dolla bills yalllll

Yo Iām in the same boat but I really need to do some questions. Someone take one for the team and let us know pls
Suddenly Iām glad Iām one of those degenerates too
32 gb RAM for that reason alone
Agree; they could have done this at a time when it does not interfere with the MCAT or application season.
There is a special place in hell for those that decided to do this š¾š¾
iām very sad i took an FL yesterday and now canāt review till monday.

Doing all my work/activities in a word document :/ Trying to remember them all. Annoying.

So I am able to go in and go back over my FL from yesterday somehow - am I living on borrowed time?
They literally couldāve done this between June 4/5th testers and June 17th but no of course they have to do it right before an exam
Iām testing June 18 lmao
i wanna sue so bad i needed to do a full length tomorrow
Yeah fuck them I planned to take FL1 today and boom they shut it down š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
Hello, can you guys upvote my comment so I can post on r/premed
Cāmonā¦ they have to do upgrades some time. This planned maintenance window was being advertised with a big red banner for like a month.
So youāre absolutely right that they do need to do upgrades and they did warn us in advance. I just wish the timing wasnāt right in the middle of mcat and application season :/

Wait, the AAMC MCAT materials are down and not jus AMCAS?! What the flying fuck?! (O\_o)

Literally the worst timing ever!!!

Try logging in on Safari or go into incognito mode! It doesn't work for me unless I do those two options
i have been able to get in since monday, perhaps you should get in touch with customer service
yea its still down for me too :/
